• Heaven's Grocery Store

  
  A couple years ago, while at some church event, I was handed a little piece of paper with this little story/poem on it. I loved it, and ended up stashing it on a drawer. Just found it while unpacking boxes today, and decided to share it with you all.  Enjoy!
  
  

  Shop in Heaven's Grocery Store

  I was walking down life's highway a long time ago.
  One day I saw a sign that read Heaven's Grocery Store.
  As I got a little closer, the door came open wide,
  And when I came to myself, I was standing inside.
  I saw a host of angels; they were standing everywhere.
  And one angel said, "My child, shop with care."
  Everything a Christian needed was in that grocery store.
  And all you couldn't carry you could come back the next day for more.
  First, I got some patience, love was in the same row.
  Further down was understanding, you need that everywhere you go.
  I got a box or two of wisdom, a bag or two of faith.
  I just couldn't miss the Holy Ghost for He was all over the place.
  I stopped to get some strength and courage to help me run the race.
  By then my basket was getting full, but I remembered I needed some grace.
  I didn't forget salvation, for salvation that was free.
  So, I tried to get enough of that to save you and me.
  Then I started to the counter to pay my grocery bill.
  For I thought I had everything to do my Master's will.
  As I went up the aisle, I saw prayer and just had to put that in.
  For I knew when I stepped outside, I would run right into sin.
  Peace and joy, were plentiful, they were on the last shelf.
  Song and praises were hanging near so I just helped myself.
  Then, I said, "Now how much do I owe?"
  He just smiled and said, "Just take them everywhere you go."
  "How much do I really owe?"
  He smiled and said, "My child, Jesus paid your bill a long time ago."

  
   

  Blessings and Love,
